How's it not?

@Revolutionary

Because at sufficient scale, exceptions are rendered obsolete because they trend toward zero impact.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I mean, it's a bit of a generalization, don't you think?

@Revolutionary

It doesn't have to be.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It can, but I wouldn't call it an absolute.

@Revolutionary

Why not?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It's hard to tell people, though, "Hey, you're on your own. Nope, ignore you're neighbor. You can't help each other. Do it yourself."

@Revolutionary

That's fine, but for the most part, dimensions and species are isolated. Once extradimensional creatures start interfering, it gets really quirky.

Myriad Reality

Everyone got their 60$ish? There's a two day delay before it comes out.

@DarkwolfX37

I'm not buying Call of Duty.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I can agree to all that.

@Revolutionary

That's why I think universes should probably be pretty independent. If they solve their own population problem, great. If not, they'll just have a smaller population.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Not alone.

@Revolutionary

So in that same line of thought, I think that anything that works also works when scaled. If management will fail on a major scale, I think it is all but a failure on a small scale, especially with the rate in which it would grow. People multiply like rabbits when they can.

I'd argue that comes from lack of anyone having the experience to run one that big.

@Revolutionary

I'll admit, I very much favor a hands-off approach when it comes to people, but at the same time, I don't think it's possible to manage anything that big, regardless of experience.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I dunno. You can put people just about everywhere, in some way or another. I dunno if I can imagine Existence ever getting full like that.

@Revolutionary

It's more than just running out of space. A centralized system like that inevitably collapses.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Will that limit ever feasibly be reached though?

@Revolutionary

*Nods*
Virtually every planet cannot sustain life. Even if you were to take all matter and make it habitable, not only would you run out, but you've inevitably integrated yourself so far into the lives of all affected that they're reliant on you.
